Hawaii HB767 amends election procedures to allow voters 13 days to correct deficiencies in return identification envelopes.

Hawaii HB767 modifies the process for handling deficient return identification envelopes in elections. It mandates that voters be notified by first-class mail, telephone, or electronic mail to correct deficiencies within 13 calendar days after the election. The chief election officer can set rules for correcting these deficiencies. The bill also ensures that ballot counting and result disclosure can proceed during the correction period. It explicitly states that the clerk's failure to contact voters does not justify contesting the election results.
